The Bottleneck
Saturday, May 3

Making their return to Lawrence for the first time in nearly seven years, OC ska veterans Save Ferris took to The Bottleneck stage on Saturday night. The show was packed with an all-ages crowd, and while they really went off for the headliners, the openers received a lot of love, as well. New York ska-core act Keep Flying, on tour with Save Ferris, gained a lot of new fans that night, thanks to a highly-energetic performance, while Kansas City’s Gametime played only their second show since reuniting after 20 years, showing next to no signs of having ever stopped.
